However, if you prefer to make a single payment due to cash flow considerations, that can also work well, especially if you can make it substantial. 

I would prefer doing this to get the increased cash flow as opposed to paying additional small amounts monthly.

We prefer 2bedroom 1.5 bath.We also want to invest here in KY.A few perks about my guy, he works for a builder, investor.

I would actually prefer you don't because if you need convincing you probably won't actually take action and do deals. you will just watch videos and live inside the zoom vault watching content never making it happen.

John, I am transferring over for tax break purposes as I plan to sell this property that has over 250k in equity, can you elaborate on your preferred reasoning behind keeping it on your personal name? 

Look those up and see which you prefer. 

I just want enough stable revenue to pay yearly expenses, hire a property management team, and pay the debt preferably in 5-10 years.

If you prefer rentals in B or B+ neighborhoods instead (mainly for higher tenant quality, lower crime rates, and better long-term appreciation potential) and don’t mind broadening your search beyond Huntsville, other more affordable locales in Alabama—like Birmingham, the state’s largest city—could be a good fit.We’re active in suburbs on the west side of Birmingham like Adamsville, Forestdale, Sylvan Springs, and Pleasant Grove, and a good portion of properties there meet the 1% rule.

I prefer local investments as it allows me to self-manage and avoid management fees.

I prefer the East Coast(I'd be open to maybe the Midwest as well).
